Negation/Negative Words

Negative Word English Antonym

pas not N/A

jamais never toujours (always), souvent (often)

plus no longer toujours (still)

personne no one, nobody Quelqu'un (somebody),Tout le monde (everyone)

To change an affirmative sentence to a negative one, place the « ne » behind the subject and the negative word behind the verb. Je parle. → Je ne parle pas. If there is an antonym in the affirmative sentence, replace it with the negative word. Ex. Il y a quelqu'un. → Il n'y a personne.
